Aro History Thangka

This Aro history thangka depicts the meeting of Aro Lingma (as Khandro Yeshé
Réma) with ’a-Shul Pema Legden. ’a-Shul Pema Legden is shown as Khalden
Lingpa’s thangka painter. Khalden Lingpa is shown
in the sky above Khandro Yeshé Réma and ’a-Shul Pema Legden, because it was
he who was active in precipitating their meeting. Khordong Gompa is portrayed in the thangka
because that was the home of Khalden Lingpa and his disciple and thangka painter ’a-Shul
Pema Legden.
